DEPRESSION: Does anybody actually knows what depression is!! We can easily say the reason why we are sad when we are sad but what is depression? It is self doubt that creeps in and conquer your mind and body and soul. We really don't understand it.
It's a phase of life that people avoid to discuss because people do not like sympathy and today the only thing you get in life is sympathy from those thousands of people who would not like to know the reason why you are acting different. It's a phase which when you discuss now becomes a topic of troll on social networks. People talk, think that you are mad or showing it off. They just do not understand the pain behind it.
Think about that girl who is smiling and laughing and showing that every single thing is absolutely fine. You will not even get a hint of her depression as she has mastered herself all these years to show her happy side but inside she is broken, broken into pieces. Let's not know who she is and what her issue is but understand what she went through.
She is 25+ and is dealing her life with many ups and downs. Stood strong where inside was fighting. Fighting to portray a different side of her to her friends, colleagues, workplace etc. It made her weak everyday but ya she fought!
Away from her home, taking lots of responsibilities, dealing with her personal life at times she just used to swallow her own breathe. Sitting on her bed, looking helplessly at those wall hangings thinking why it's her! There were days when she just cried and cried the whole day without knowing the reason why or maybe after knowing it all and not accepting it because it's no sadness it's depression!
She was strong and decided to be stronger. Left everything and went away from all to a different land tried all weird stuffs. Thought it might can help but Alas! It was just a temporary solution deep inside she was burning. For once she thought it's all over and she is out of it. Happy she was, focused on her career but unknowingly the demon was sleeping somewhere deep inside and was waiting for another disastrous incident to happen to take over her soul again.
She was happy at times. She was trying to convince herself that yes "She is Happy". It was claustrophobic, it's a suffering. She started acting more and due to various commitments she pushed and pushed herself to that extreme place where she was unknown of the fact that the demon is now a parasite. A very dangerous parasite.
She could not breathe at times, could not eat, her soul was invading somewhere where her mind was not communicating with her. She was lost. She was wearing a face for the face she need to be seen by others and nobody actually understood.
Years passed she was so used to it that she forgot her depressions. She thought of taking her life to a different direction but she forgot the concept of trusting no one but herself. When everything was going fine she got HURT again!!
This was the point when for once she decided to give up.A strong girl like her actually thought of giving up for few people who does not deserve to be bothered. The demon by now has already taken over her entire body. She is empty. She completely lost her power to handle her emotion. She was searching for symptoms that lead to madness and it was going out of proportion. She needed some one.
But, she is still smiling. Not letting the world know those 1000 scars in her soul.
Yes she is that person I know very well. I tried helping her and letting her understand her worth. She was unable to talk to herself but made her talk to me. I am not sure how will I be helping her other than giving her HOPE and make her believe that where there is HOPE there is LIFE. Will just make her realize the fact that we are living in this world for us and not for someone else.
I did a lot of study to help her. Self Actualization is one of the most important factor that works in this kind of situations and taking medication actually helps in a very professional way.There is no harm in medication. There are experts who help us to gain our self confidence, make us understand the purpose of our life. It does not make us a patient. I suggested my friend to take that help and wish her to recover at the earliest.
Today we shall try to help at least one of our friend to come out of depressions. Let's try to see those real smiles and pretty faces. :)

To conclude, lets see the various facts related to this kind of issues:
1. 36% Indians are under depression knowingly or unknowingly.
2. 1 out of 4 people commit suicide everyday.
3. India is standing at the top in the counting of suicide cases worldwide.
Acc. to Dr. Bhatt:
Human Brain is created where there are 2 layers:
a. generates emotions like fear and anger
b. is the logical brain that tries to talk to each other
These are 2 parallel things, knowing that those emotions are not to be considered but you have no control. It's Neurology. It's an internal WAR.

It is really nice to see that the author of this blog has mentioned the concerns to help someone who is suffering from depression.Depression is really a very sensitive issue.It's not a rough patch a person is going through rather it's a serious mental condition that needs a proper recovery plan.
ReplyDeleteThis article is definitely a worth read.
Way to go Ria Kundu. You should keep on inspiring yourself to write!!
Nicely described. Thought of sharing few words with you.
ReplyDeleteYou know Ria, depression is a state of mind and the best part of human mind you know what that we humans forgets things so fast. There would be a point where you will find all the so called happy people around you and when you turn back to the mirror you will find a person who is trying to find happiness like others. There starts the comparison and an obvious question comes up - "Why Me ?" "Am I the only one who deserve the sufferings ?"
Simply put the answer is "NO". But human mind revolves around the past old good days and starts looking for happiness. It takes a while to understand that we can be happy without someone, without something.
You can change the place, you can put those wall hanging down, you can throw away the good old stuffs which you once thought that will be with you forever. But the reality is little different. It is little hard to throw away the memory. But you know, there is nothing which can be undone. It might sound little poetic but "kothata kichuta holeo satti".
A little boy of 25 years felt the same ..and he might not be the only one.. but he also, used to take long time showers because tears are not visible. A well thought life, pre planned future can be destroyed with a single master stoke, that he was not aware. But life has showed the the harsh reality. Yes, he was alone.But u know Ria, he thought like that. He shared his thoughts to friends, did not work out. Its all because he was not ready to accept the change. A big fat kid suddenly lost half of his weight without banging the GYM door.
But Time has its own flow. Its true memory never dies but it can be rebuilt. He is happy now with himself. May be because he stopped comparing with his own past happiness.
Kyunki, if in the end its its not good, then - "Picture abhi baki hain mere dost "
Stay happy. Stay blessed. Keep writing...

Thanks a ton Abhishek.
